Catherine's Five Fanfic Links

The OC



This explains the story of a moment (or series of moments) from The OC that was left blank from the TV series, a series of moments that the author has hoped to recreate in this story.

Summer has been left heartbroken at the end of season 1, and at the beginning of season 2 she is already with another guy, Zach. This story gives suggestion as to their meeting.

Taking into consideration the actual story (a show that I am terribly familiar with) this is a very plausible explanation as to the initial meeting of Summer and Zach. It worked as stayed quite true to the dialogue and actions of the original characters.

This story gives a glimpse of Dorothy’s life, three years after being in OZ, coming home and missing the friends she made three years ago.

I liked the addition that this story makes to the exact moments after Dorothy has left OZ, but I do find the three year gap a little unbelievable, although the movie does like to compare Kansas to OZ so this keeps quite true when imaging that Dorothy’s dull life is thought to change very little upon her return to OZ.

This is just a short snippet that could be placed towards the end of the novel between Scout, Dill and Miss Maudie and talks about bravery and what makes people brave.

This is quite a cute scene where Miss Maudie explains to Scout some reasons that Jem and herself were allowed to watch the court trial by Atticus.

It could be quite true, but I think it would be better if Calpurnia was the one talking to the kids and explaining things like this.

The turning of the entire Gilmore Girl’s plotline so that Rory rewrites history upon finding out she is pregnant at a young age.

I’m not sure how people can write aspects of this, even though they know what happens in the original story, as this piece of fanfic completely alters the entire story and cancels out Rory’s one true love! But it is written well, and includes some of the quick quips that GG is famous for, but I think this story doesn’t quite encapsulate the character of Jess as well as hoped/expected.

This is a reflection of Langdon as he stares at the tombstone of his one true love, after she has died much to young.

Although the reflection aspect of this fanfic could have fit within the script of the original movie, I do feel as though there were similar scenes which makes this piece a rewrite of something that has occurred already. The characters are staying quite true to themselves which makes it more of a bearable read.

  2. I think maybe the fanfic Wizard of Oz can be made into a movie. I'd definitely be interested, but it may just end up like another Narnia...

  3. Hi. I agree with the your review on the Wizard of Oz. It is quite hard to enjoy stories which are unbelievable! Sometimes things should be 'independant' and stay the same :)
